[I] INTRODUCTION AND INFORMATION
This is an Achievement guide for Alan Wake on XBOX 360. It is a
spoiler-free (as much as possible) guide, created with the purpose of
letting you play through the game on your own, but at the same time
helping you can get most achievements with as little replays as
possible.
[A] ACHIEVEMENTS
I will not waste the space and time to copy-paste the entire list in
this guide, because you can see it pretty much anywhere, your XBOX 360
included. Instead, I will elaborate on the types of Achievements and how
they relate to this guide.
For most collectible & combat Achievements you can at any time pause the
game ando select "Statistics" to see your progress.
[A.1] STORY-BASED, UN-MISSABLE
This guide will not even mention them. What's the point of writing a
guide on how to get an Achievement that you could't avoid even if you
wanted to? This includes about half of the TVs in the game which will
turn on by themselves when Alan approaches them on his way through the
game. I also think there's a radio like that somewhere, because you can
only actually turn on 10 in the game, but the statitics screen says 11
when you get the Achievement.
[A.2] ONE-OFFS
These are the Achievements that require you to do some specific thing in
a specific part of the game. Like completing a section withot dying or
using guns, activating a specfic object in the game, and so on. These
will be included in the guide at their appropriate places.
[A.3] COLLECTIBLES
These are the main reason this guide was made. There are coffee
thermoses and manuscript pages all over the game to pick up, and there
are also Achievements for finding "all of" other things like TVs and
radios. These are what most of the guide consists of.
[A.4] COMBAT
These are the Achievements that mostly you end up getting without trying
specifically, but you do still need to do certain things to get them (so
they aren't un-missable). A few of these (e.g. "Sound and Fury", "Float
Like a Butterfly" and others) are a sort of one-offs, but they're still
combat related and not tied to one specific place-time in the game. Very
few of these will be explicitly referenced in the guide, because most of
them require little more than just paying attention to what you're
doing, but there will be some general guidelines.
[O] GENERAL OUTLINE
You will be playing the game all the way through twice. Apart from
everything else, there are Achievements for completing in on every
difficulty (stackable). While it's theoretically possible to get
everything in one go, it would have to be in Nightmare difficulty, which
makes a lot of other Achievements near-impossible. You're welcome to try
if you wish, of course, but this guide is written for everyone, so it
assumes starting with the easier mode and thus playing twice.
So, here's the general outline:
1) Finish the game on Normal, getting most of the Achievements.
2) Finish the game on Nightmare, picking up the Nigthmare manuscript pages.
3) Replay any chapters as needed to get any Achievements still missing.
[GC] COMBAT ACHIEVEMENT GUIDELINES
Of course, these are not iron-clad rules, you should always do what
seems best at the time. But do note that ammo & weapons are quite common
and enemies fairly weak in the Normal difficulty mode, so you shouldn't
get carried away with saving up for potiential hard battles, as there
won't be many.
*) Do not run from the Taken when playing on Normal difficulty, always
try to kill all that you come across on your way through the game. Don't
hang around waiting for them, though, as sometimes new ones will just
keep appearing. Just take out any and all that are in your way/near you,
and move on.
*) Remember that restarting from a checkpoint has no penalty and does
not reset any counters. So don't hesitate to restart from a checkpoint
whenever a fight does not go your way, as all the kills & collectibles
will stay recorded.
*) Don't use the pistol as long as you have a hunting rifle or a
shotgun, except on the weak "runners" who die from a single potshot (or
if the Taken are too far away for shotgun).
*) Don't use the flare gun unless you're fairly certain it will kill at
least three Taken. The flare gun is quite rare for most of the game so
you need to make the shots count. The same goes for flash grenades.
*) "Collateral Carnage" is a bit tricky, so try to work towards it
whenever you have a chance. Keep an eye out for red barrels and
sparkling electric wires -- most of the time any Taken caught close to
an exploding barrel or touching the wire will die instantly.
*) "Back, Back I Say!" requires you to be in critical condition
(dark/colorless screen) when you light the flare.
*) Don't hoard the batteries. In the Normal difficulty mode, they're
even more abundant than weapons and ammo. I suggest never keeping more
than eght or ten in your flashlight (spend any extras as soon as you get
them to get the Achievement faster).
*) Don't bother with the cinematic dodge Achievements. If you don't get
them automatically on your Normal playthrough, you'll get them on
Nightmare, as dodging is pretty much a mandatory requirement then. If by
some freak accident or deliberate effort on your part (um... why!?) you
somehow do manage to avoid them, it's a trivial matter to load up any
chapter and just keep dodging the first Taken you meet over and over
again until you get it (the first two in Episode 1 logging yard and all
in the dream don't count though).
*) For "If It Flies, It Burns", just make sure you always stay around
until you kill all the birds that you can every time they appear. Even
if you don't manage to get the Achievement on your first playthrough, it
should be close enough (over 800) for you to inevitably reach it at some
point during the Nigthmare playthrough.
[G] ACHIEVEMENT GUIDE
Remember this is NOT a walkthrough! There will be no gameplay help
whatsoever, you're completely your own in regards to enemies, puzzles
and items like batteries and ammo.
Here are the Achievement tags used in the guide:
*) CACHE, THERMOS, RADIO, TV, MANUSCRIPT and NIGHTMARE MANUSCRIPT should
all be self-explanatory.

*) SIGN: Signs, posters and other pieces of information that you have to
examine for "Bright Falls Aficionado" Achievement.

trying to get all the collectibles and other items at the same time can
